LOCAL AND GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY AND DELAY EFFECTS OF NETWORKED CONTROL

As V2X communication becomes more prevalent, understanding how network connectivity and communication delays affect the stability of control systems is crucial. This research investigates the interplay between local and global connectivity patterns and time delays in networked control systems, providing insights into the design of robust control strategies for autonomous vehicles and distributed robotics.

THE ROLE OF CONNECTIVITY AND DELAY IN FORMATION CONTROL

In collaboration with NUAA (China), this research analyzed the stability of formation control systems under delayed feedback and network connectivity. The study extended classical stability analysis using Laplacian connectivity eigenvalues and time-delayed control terms, revealing nuanced stability conditions for UAV formations.

DESTABILIZING EFFECTS OF SLIDING FRICTION ON OSCILLATORS: A BIFURCATION AND ENERGETIC ANALYSIS

Analyzed how sliding friction can inject energy into mechanical systems, causing self sustained oscillations, and identified consistent bifurcation patterns that distinguish global from local stability regimes.

MODELLING OF PORPOISING IN FORMULA 1 CARS AND SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES

This research developed a reduced-order nonlinear model to capture porpoising vibrations in race cars. The project involved advanced aerodynamic model reduction techniques and was conducted in collaboration with an international researcher.

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF PLATOONING MODELS WITH TIME-DELAY

In my BSc thesis, we investigated nonlinear car-following models with time-delay and control functions. Simulations of traffic and flocking behavior were conducted to analyze the effects of delay on system dynamics.
